HONESDALE and DINGMANS FERRY, PA — Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC) recently announced that board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist Sheila Hockman, D.O., has joined the Women’s Health Center. In addition to seeing patients at both the Honesdale and Dingmans Ferry offices, Dr. Hockman will facilitate births and perform surgical procedures at Wayne Memorial Hospital in Honesdale.
Dr. Hockman comes to Wayne Memorial with more than 20 years of experience. When asked about her two decades as an OB/GYN, she said, “My father once told me ‘If you love your job, you will never work a day in your life!’ After 20-plus years, I still haven’t started working.”
Dr. Hockman earned her medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her OB/GYN residency at St. Luke’s University Health Network in Allentown. After spending close to 10 years in private practice, providing care to women living in West Virginia, South Carolina and Wisconsin, Dr. Hockman practiced for health systems in Indiana and Pennsylvania.
“Adding a fourth physician to our team is so exciting,” said Christina MacDowell, women’s health care manager at WMCHC. “The arrival of Dr. Hockman offers increased access to women’s health services in Wayne and Pike counties,”
Dr. Hockman joins fellow OB/GYN physicians Eric Rittenhouse, Alexis Felsman and Christine Phillips.
